Had a tissue expander fill today and, when I got home, I noticed an indent on the outer lower area of right breast. (about as round as a pencil eraser) What could this be and should I be worried?

Is this your first fill? If so the bag may be indented or creased until it gets fuller. If it isn't red or puffy no need for alarm. Always call your plastic surgeon with questions as they arise. This is very important. The best of luck to you.

How do you know if you have a lump on your breast - this might be very obvious, but is it very prominent? Is there any discoloration?

You should have your doctor do a breast exam, they may refer you for a mammogram and ultrasound.

My tumor was not detectable by exam. It could only be seen on a mammogram. See your doctor right away.

Comment 1Hi TJ, often there are no obvious signs of breast cancer that you can clearly see. Some of the common signs or symptoms you might get include a lump or dimpling in the breast. Sometimes you can get redness, itchiness and/or swelling of a certain part of the breast or you may feel a swelling or lump in the lymph nodes of the arm pit. Some people experience tiredness.
But even if you have one or more of these signs, try not to worry it still doesn't mean you have breast cancer. Remember that even when a lump is found, most breast lumps turn out to be benign.
However it's extremely important that you SEE YOUR DOCTOR STRAIGHT AWAY if you're worried about anything. Having your doctor take a look and check everything will ease your worry, and if anything is found, you'll be able to take care of it quickly.

Hi, I would recommend seeing your doctor to get it checked out. Any changes in your breast should always be checked out just to be on the safe side. Good luck to you.

I agree with Diane.. Visit doctor to get check because itch, orange peel texture is a sign of inflammatory breast cancer which does not have to form a lump!!

I found another lump in my right breast. I had a lump removed last December but they said it was nothing to worry about. Should this one be?

Don't worry but do something! You should get an exam as soon as possible from your doctor. No matter how many lumps you have that are nothing to worry about, you should always get every lump checked.

I found a small lump (like a tiny marble) in my left breast. Is it a cyst or could it be a tumor? It's often painful.

Hi Jessica, any changes in your breast (lump, or otherwise) should always be checked out as soon as possible by your Dr. It could very well be nothing to worry about, but you never want to take that chance. It's your life!

Comment 1I have the same marble, I have two in my right breast. It started becoming painful a couple days ago so I made an appt with my obgyn yesterday which referred me for a mammogram. I went this morning and was told it is a lump in my milk gland. The pain is common and considered normal. Nothing to worry about. Just make sure to do your monthly self exam to monitor the size. If you are worried, I would suggest going to the doctor to get a professional opinion as everyone is different.

I am 17 and I have another lump. I really hope it's just another tumor, as sad as that sounds. But what if it's not? How would I get through it?
